| - An uptown Guu horray! been to this location 3 times because its so much easier than going downtown. At the back corner of the Hullmark Centre it is easy to get to by subway literally right above the subway, there is also underground parking which is $6 or free with a $15 purchase from Whole Foods.
Same loud greetings as the other locations, but this one the lighting is much brighter, nice large windows leading out the patio. The wait without a reservation is not bad at all (but the only option you will get is the bar, which I actually suggest to see all the kitchen action) The longest I've waited in about 25 minutes, once no wait at all and seated right away. However there is a 2 hr seating time limit.
Drinks: Ruby - beer, grapefruit juice and a bit of gingerale, super yummy sweet and refreshing, a girly beer drink! Ramune mojioto is alway delicious my go to drink.
The food is mostly the same, the beef carpaccio, takoyaki and salmon tataki is what you expect and solid as usual. The not so great dishes were one of their daily specials was a grilled squid which was ok a bit bland and pumpkin croquette with a hard boiled egg inside it was just smothered in thousand island sauce and didn't look appetizing
The highlights though was another daily special which was an octopus carpaccio which was bold in flavour lots of spicy jalapeno and different seaweed textures (a party in your mouth) The pressed sushi was also amazing (a bit pricey) but the rice was soft and the fish was torched it comes in both salmon and mackerel. The mushroom and cheese bimbimbap is also always good. I'll keep coming back since the location is convenient, never have a problem with the staff and I always leave satisfied =)
